WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

We understand you may have questions before scheduling your appointment. Here are some answers to our most frequently asked questions.

What Is Referred Pain?

Referred pain means pain that you feel in one part of your body, but the source of it is coming from somewhere else. A good example of this in action is arm pain that sometimes occurs when a person is having a heart attack. The problem is with the heart but the arm pain, although seemly unrelated, is a symptom.

What Is Myofascial?

Often referred pain is the result of pressure on sensitive points triggered by muscle knots. This is a chronic pain disorder that occurs when the muscle contracts repeatedly and then fails to relax. The knot in the tissue puts pressure on a nerve causing pain there or that radiates to another location on the body.

Symptoms of myofascial pain include:

Deep aching pain in the muscle
Persistent pain that may get worse over time
A knot or tender area in the muscle
Pain that radiates to another part of the body

The sensitive area in the muscle that causes this pain is called a trigger point. Injections into that site, trigger point injections, can relieve the tension and ease the pain.

Are There Risk Factors For This Kind Of Chronic Pain?

Trigger point pain requires a stimulus of some kind. For many people, stress and anxiety are enough to trigger an episode in the neck or shoulders. Repetitive use is another potential culprit. Continual stress on a muscle group, the lower back for instance, can trigger spasms that lead to chronic pain. Other risk factors include:

Poor posture
Muscle injury
Poor technique
Poor overall fitness

Triggers are distinct, so what causes pain in one patient may not bother another. During the evaluation, Dr. Gruen talks with each patient to get a sense of what might be causing the knots. Along with trigger point injections, the care plan may include lifestyle changes and physical therapy.

How Do Trigger Injections Work?

Dr. Gruen or another medical professional at Move Well MD inserts a small needle into the trigger point containing an anesthetic, saline or possibly a corticosteroid. The goal is to make that trigger point inactive, reducing both the direct and referred pain. A number of injections to that same spot will usually provide pain relief that lasts.

Best care I have ever received from a medical provider. Everyone here really cares and is clearly very knowledgeable. I saw another provider before who did not take the time to actually make a diagnosis - received one here on my first visit. Doctor is experienced and works with your comfort level. Highly recommend!

Dr. Ben and the staff are the best I feel like Family every time i come to the office. My first visit to the office was almost 2 years ago because of a sever neck crank during sparring i couldn't look to my right for almost 2 weeks. So I tried Move Well for relief because it was in the area and thank goodness I did. After the first visit I already had almost full range and mobility of my neck.

I've been a regular patient at Move Well for over 6 years. Dr Ben has truly helped me stay in good physical shape well into my 40s. Any aches and pains are immediately alleviated as a result of my weekly visits. Ask about the acupuncture, it's been a great addition to my routine.
